What is a Safer Neighbourhood Team?
Doncaster Council has its own Safer Neighbourhood Teams, consisting of a sergeant, a neighbourhood manager, a team leader, police officers, community safety wardens and police community support officers.
The Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) works to reduce crime and disorder by targeting relevant properties, targeting prolific and priority offenders, gathering crime and community intelligence and by providing education packages covering Hyde Park, Belle Vue, Town Fields and Balby Bridge.

What does a Safer Neighbourhood Team do?
The Safer Neighbourhood Team works with the community and partner agencies to help tackle locally identified issues such as quality of life problems like graffiti, noisy neighbours, anti social behaviour and vandalism. Their aim is to listen and talk to local people and to work with them to help reduce crime and improve neighbourhoods and communities to become, safer, cleaner and greener.
Examples of good working relationships between the Police and Council can be found in Doncaster News 2008.
